Protecting Youth Training Course

Many faculty, staff and students interact with minors (anyone under the age of 18) through the University either internally or externally. These interactions may occur during the course of their work, in their coursework or through an activity or volunteer opportunity.  

Anyone interacting with a minor for any length of time through the University is required to complete Protection of Youth training. If your Community-Based Work Study position involves working with minors, you must complete the Protecting Youth Training Course. 

Accessing the Course

  • Visit myshu.sacredheart.edu-> Blackboard-> Organizations -> Training for Protection of Youth 
  • Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a completion certificate. 
  • To view your certificate, open and save your certificate to your computer. Be sure to forward a copy to wendela3@sacredheart.edu. It is also important to retain a copy for yourself if you should have any additional requests that may require proof of your completion.
